Help keep a free food pantry open for families and seniors in Los Angeles.

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Monday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 29 families, and now we feed 216 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 39% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 9 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Los Angeles market and keep every receipt.
Each $50 feeds a family of four for a week.
I'll post the weekly shopping receipts and a photo of the shelves each Sunday.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $280
• Baby formula and diapers: $530
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $640
I hope life is good to you.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Hudson?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about refrigeration and electricity, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Kolkata
how is Hudson doing now?
Thinking of you and your family. More neighborhoods should do this. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
hope you get there. Thinking of Los Angeles
